Recommendations for mapping

More details and answer on questions related to this problem can be found on Legal FAQ. Using data from the Macedonian sources is regulated by the Law on Copyright and Related Rights. [1].

See here for suggestions on how to mark town / village / neighborhood, but do not know how

All suggestions for mapping are based on Good Practice, local legislative and laws specific for Republic of Macedonia. This rules or recommendations are not final and they are just attempt to make the basic core of rules that can later be debated. The main goal creating this rules was to make simple and easily accessible mapping rules, translated on Macedonian that will help the new mapper's to engage in the work done so far.

Goals

To increase the number of local users participating in mapping

To map the streets in all major towns and villages

To map the roads to all villages

To determine and approve rules for mapping of Macedonia

What is done until now

All settlements, big cities, towns and up to the smallest village are already on the map of Macedonia

In very large extent mapping and labeling with the new categorization of roads to all motorways, expressways, highways and regional roads is already completed - Mk:WikiProject_Macedonia/Road_network

Roads in Macedonia are connected with road network of neighboring countries

Several cities in Macedonia have very detailed maps of streets with names

Macedonia is Macedonia

Following a number of serious incidents, the Macedonian mapping community has repeatedly made it clear that they wish to be called “Macedonia” (official name “Republic of Macedonia”), and not “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” (as Greece and some international organisations go by). OpenStreetMap is not a battleground for the naming dispute.
